This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with oily skin: shine, enlarged pores, blackheads, and blemishes. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

Works for oily skin; other nourishing masks fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate suitability for your oily skin as snail secretion filtrate and glycerin provide humectant action, though they may not offer sufficient seboregulation for oily shine.
- The mask provides excellent nourishing benefits due to snail secretion filtrate and centella asiatica meristem cell culture, which hydrate and promote skin regeneration.
- The product is safe for your oily skin with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

## What reviewers say

Based on a very large amount of data, users consistently report waking up to significantly softer, brighter, and plumper skin, praising the mask's ability to deeply hydrate without feeling overly heavy.

## Questions and answers

### How well does Missha Snail Sleeping Mask work for oily skin?

This mask works moderately well for oily skin because snail mucin and glycerin provide good moisture, but it may not control shiny oil enough. An ideal mask for this skin needs soothing and mattifying ingredients that control oil and keep pores clear.
Sources: [Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27168678/)

### Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for oily skin?

Snail Mucin Extract and glycerin make this mask a fit by providing moderate moisture without harsh ingredients, though oily skin also needs targeted oil control and mattifying properties from soothing plant extracts.

### What does Snail Mucin Extract do for oily skin?

Snail mucin extract helps hydrate oily skin without feeling heavy, making it a good fit for adding lightweight moisture. It is unlikely to clog pores, but because research on oily skin specifically is limited, you may want to test a small patch first.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38429932/)

### What does Glycerin do for oily skin?

Glycerin helps keep oily skin hydrated without feeling heavy and supports the skin barrier. Because this product is a weak fit for your skin, an ideal product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and ingredients that balance oil while protecting the skin.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/), [International Journal of Toxicology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31840548/)

### Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for oily skin?

This nourishing mask works as an extra step in your evening routine after your moisturizer, though other products fit your oily skin better. To properly care for oily skin, a product of this type needs ingredients that help balance oil and shine while keeping the face calm and smooth.

### Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this mask in your evening routine along with retinol, applying it after your treatment step to help keep your skin calm and hydrated. Barrier-supporting ingredients may also help your skin tolerate the retinol better.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/)

### How often should I use this mask?

This nourishing mask works for your oily skin, though other products fit it better because it lacks enough oil control for oily shine. To make this product type work for oily skin, it needs ingredients that help balance oil alongside hydration.

### Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?

This mask is unlikely to cause irritation or breakouts on oily skin since it lacks harsh ingredients, though it may leave a slightly sticky feel. Oily skin prone to shine also needs ingredients that help balance oil production.
Sources: [Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27168678/), [Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34471722/)

### Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Behenyl alcohol and cetearyl alcohol are fatty alcohols, which soften the skin.
